Traveler Guide to Kellogg, ID
Kellogg is in Northern Idaho. It has a dynamic ski resort called Silver Mountain that draws a lot of customers.
Imagine the largest smelting facility in the world being located in the rugged terrain of the Rocky Mountains. That's what the Bunker Hill Mine and Smelting Complex used to be, to extract massive quantities of silver, and what the town of Kellogg was built around, in addition to other mining interests. This all has a very sad chapter to it in that, for one, one of the worst U.S. mining accidents to ever occur happened when a subterranean fire broke out at the Sunshine Mine in 1972 and took 91 lives, and, for another, the Bunker Hill Smelter left the area and Spokane River watershed below it heavily contaminated with lead and other toxins and made it a Superfund site.
